I have never participated in important international conferences with Indians, but I have dealt with Indians in a third country, so I don’t think it is a problem.

As the saying goes, "do as the Romans do when you're in town". Even if there are not many compatriots around, Indians should also take into account the "international outlook".

There is a restaurant here that is used by people from India, Nepal, Indonesia, and Fiji. The Indonesians invited me to have a meal there once.

I saw Indians and Nepalis eating with disposable utensils.

When it comes to bone-in chicken, there's nothing you can do, you have to use your hands.

But it's not just them, other countries also use their hands.

Even Chinese people who are not very good with chopsticks use their hands.

I have asked Nepalis privately, and they do use their hands in the country.

I didn't ask about wiping my butt, I thought it was rude.

But in the bathroom in the Nepalese dormitory, the toilet has a flushing nozzle.

I mentioned Nepal because Nepal and India have very similar living habits and religious beliefs.

Although India belongs to the four ancient civilizations and is the dominant country in South Asia, it is a country that is both ridiculous and difficult to understand.

"You don't use chopsticks to eat with your hands, you don't use toilet paper to pick it up with your hands, and you don't enter the carriage and squeeze on the roof when taking a train" are distinctive features of Indian life.

We often hear stories about Chinese people using hot pot to entertain Indian guests, which makes people laugh out loud.

As for whether Indian state banquets are also held with hands, I have never attended an Indian state banquet, but I have heard from friends about their real experiences of visiting India and attending a state banquet.

As a banquet for entertaining foreign dignitaries, the state banquet should reflect the characteristics of the country. It is usually held in the banquet hall of the Presidential Palace or the Prime Minister's Palace.

Indians also realize that foreign friends do not understand and are not used to the feature of hand-grabbing, so they often provide foreign friends with cutlery and other tableware.

Only when serving Indian specialties, Indians will extend their right hand to show the breadth and depth of Indian civilization, and they will also invite foreign dignitaries to experience Indian customs with their right hand.

However, due to diplomatic etiquette and diplomatic etiquette, some foreign dignitaries have to bite the bullet and eat even if they cannot accept eating with their hands.

Moreover, Indians often put lemonade in the utensils on the dining table, but this water is not for drinking, but for cleaning the right hand after the meal.

But you can drink the ice water in the cup.

As ordinary Indians, they are usually used to grabbing food with their hands when eating. This is a long-standing dining habit.

When Indians eat, they must use their right hand to grab food, specifically their thumb, index finger and middle finger, mix the food well, and then eat it in handfuls. They generally do not prepare chopsticks, forks and spoons.

Indians have a very clear division of labor between their hands. They use their left hand to go to the toilet and their right hand to eat.

Because of this habit of grabbing with hands, most Indian dishes are made into a paste, which makes it easy to roll them into pancakes and eat them, or mix them with rice.

Indian hand-picked rice is famous all over the world. Almost all men, women, and children in the entire Indian society, whether they are grassroots workers, white-collar workers, or government officials, eat rice directly with their hands and put it into their mouths without using chopsticks, knives and forks. This is

In modern society, it seems a bit uncivilized, but this is just people's traditional eating habits, and we should treat it rationally.

In fact, Indian restaurants generally provide cutlery and other tableware, but they will not give it to you unless you specifically ask for it. However, when it comes to state banquets to receive foreign guests, the Indian government must prepare knives and forks for foreign guests when preparing meals.

It's time to wait for the tableware. Although there is a saying that when one goes to country, do as the Romans do, one cannot blindly let others adapt to one's own customs. There are various customs around the world, many of which are very flavorful, so it is not possible to prepare a state banquet according to international standards.

They don't provide tableware, and they can't only provide dishes with local tastes, otherwise it won't be good to have a mouthful of curry.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh entertains the visiting US President Obama. What you should know is that Indians only use their right hand to eat with their hands, because their left hand is used for other purposes (please add in the comment area). Before eating, there will be a glass of water specially for washing hands. This

You can’t drink water, but you can also have a glass of lemon water after meals to wash away food stains on your hands.

I personally like to eat curry rice, but if I eat it with my hands, I may lose my appetite.

So, what do you think about Indians eating with their hands?

The state banquet, as the highest level of catering in a country, plays an extremely hard-core role whether it is to highlight the country's long-standing special cuisine or as a diplomatic means to show the country's status and strength, acting as the face of the national ceremony.

Among the various state banquets in various countries around the world, each country retains the classic pattern followed by state banquets in the past, adding elements with the trend of the times to the taste passed down from heart to heart, which is a palace-level state banquet with a rich sense of ritual: Chinese and Western tableware,

The Chinese state banquet, which is a banquet service style with the characteristics of the Great Hall of the People, is characterized by eating only and sharing; the British state banquet, which displays the royal momentum and style, and tells the story of the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, is full of militarized flavor; the simple and unpretentious three dishes and one soup,

Surrounded by flowers and music, you feel at home at the Swiss state banquet... Among these numerous state banquets, the Indian state banquet where tableware is replaced with hands has aroused the author's curiosity. Although I have not experienced the highest catering treatment in India,

However, based on the limited information, the author still talks about his opinion on whether to eat with hands at the Indian state banquet.
